Description

The Journal View plugin turns daily notes into one continuous timeline inside the vault. It works with the daily notes and settings already present, so it does not force a separate journal format or extra files. You can scroll through entries, jump to any date from a calendar, return to today quickly and open nearby days from a note. The timeline stays editable, which means reading and writing happen in the same place without switching views or modes. It can create a daily note only when you start typing on an empty day, search across past entries and stay responsive even with years of notes.

Journal View

Give your daily notes a sense of continuity. Journal View brings them together in one scrollable, editable timeline, so revisiting the past and writing today feel like part of the same story.

Open Journal View from the sidebar or run Open journal from the command palette.

  • Use the daily notes you already have. Journal View works with your existing notes and daily-note settings—no plugin-specific formats, duplicate files, or lock-in.
  • Navigate through time with ease. Scroll through your journal, jump to any date with the calendar, return to today in one click, or open the surrounding days from the notebook button on a daily note.
  • Edit directly in the timeline. Read and write without switching between files, views, or editing modes.
  • Write only when there is something to say. Start typing on an empty day and Journal View creates the daily note only when you need it.
  • Rediscover past entries. Search across your journal to quickly find notes, ideas, and memories from any day.
  • Stay responsive across years of notes. Journal View keeps the days around you ready to edit while efficiently handling the rest of your timeline.

Settings

Journal View uses your existing daily-note configuration by default. You can override the date format, folder, and template in Settings → Journal View without changing how the rest of your vault handles daily notes.

Setting Default What it does
Date format / Folder / Template Inherited Overrides your vault's daily-note settings for Journal View
Day order Oldest to newest Reverses the complete timeline when set to newest to oldest
Daily header format dddd, D MMMM Controls how each daily header displays its date
Group days by year On Marks year boundaries between consecutive visible daily entries
Group days by month Off Groups daily entries beneath compact month and year headings
Focus today on open On Opens the journal at today's note and places the cursor there
Only show days that have a note On Skips empty days while always keeping today visible; turn it off to show every day
Rich editor On Uses Obsidian's Markdown editor; turn it off to use the plain-text fallback
Autosave delay 2000 ms Sets how long Journal View waits after typing before saving

Privacy

Journal View works locally with files in your Obsidian vault. It does not make network requests, collect telemetry, require an account, or access files outside your vault.
